LEASES

Our leasing activities predominantly consist of leasing office space that we occupy, which we have classified as operating leases. Our leases are comprised of fixed payments with remaining lease terms of 1 to 9 years, some of which include options to extend for up to 15 years. As of September 30, 2019, we have not included any options to extend or cancel in the calculation of our lease liability or ROU asset. We do not have any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants in our leases.

During the third quarter of 2019, we recognized operating lease expense of $5 million and we recognized $14 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

During the third quarter of 2019, we paid $4 million to reduce operating lease liabilities and $13 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
